What should you do in the wild during a rainstorm? The impact of rainstorms on your life

Since ancient times, floods have brought many disasters, which have both benefits and adverse effects on human production and life, and even major disasters. Heavy rains can cause urban waterlogging, affecting traffic and people's travel; in mountainous areas, they can cause mountain torrents and mudslides, endangering people's lives and property; heavy rains can also damage crops, especially tender seedlings, causing reduced production or even total crop failure. However, heavy rains can also be used well, especially for water-scarce areas, where water storage facilities can be used to store heavy rains for people's production and life; heavy rains can also temporarily improve the water quality of some polluted rivers. Let's first understand how heavy rains are formed.

How does a rainstorm form?

The formation of rainstorm is a rather complicated process. From the perspective of macroscopic physical conditions, the main physical conditions for rainstorm are sufficient and continuous water vapor, strong and persistent upward movement of air flow and instability of atmospheric structure. In my country, the weather systems that can cause large-scale rainstorms mainly include fronts, cyclones, shear lines, low vortices, troughs, typhoons, easterly waves and tropical convergence zones. In addition, in arid and semi-arid local areas, thermal thunderstorms can also cause short-duration, small-area heavy rainstorms. The phenomenon of water flow in rivers, lakes and seas rising and exceeding the normal water level. Floods often threaten the safety of riverside, lakeside and coastal areas, and even cause flooding disasters. Since ancient times, floods have brought many disasters to mankind, such as the frequent flooding of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Ganges, causing heavy losses. However, some river floods also bring some benefits to mankind, such as the regular flooding of the Nile River, which deposits fertile silt on the farmland in the downstream delta plain, which is beneficial to agricultural production.

What to do in the wild during heavy rain

1. If there is a continuous heavy rain in a short period of time, the river water will rise sharply, so don't stay by the river.

2. Move to hillsides, high ground, etc. in an organized manner according to the predetermined route.

3. If you are surrounded by floods, try to use boats, rafts, door panels, wooden beds, etc. to transfer by water.

4. If the flood comes too quickly and there is no time to evacuate, you should immediately climb onto the roof, high floors of buildings, big trees, or high walls to take temporary shelter and wait for rescue.

Will heavy rain affect the Internet?

Rainy days will affect the Internet speed, because rainy days may cause line failure, thus slowing down the Internet speed. On rainy days, most people usually use the Internet more often at home, which affects the performance of home routers. In addition, there is a lot of interference in the 2.4G WIFI frequency band. If the bandwidth is insufficient, the Internet speed will definitely be slow. Another reason is the condition of the line. If there is a line failure, it will also affect the Internet speed. Since most wired networks need to use cable transmission, the copper interface is easily exposed to the air, which will then oxidize and produce copper rust, thus causing poor signal transmission. Since rain is bad weather, the line is prone to failure due to weather reasons in bad weather. In addition, since the telecommunications network lines are mostly directly connected to the external line when they are divided into households, they are more susceptible to bad weather.

The impact of heavy rain on life

The impacts of heavy rain on our lives include:

Benefits: The air gets fresher because ozone levels increase, washing cities, and crops will be relieved from drought.

Disadvantages: Travel may be greatly affected, farmland and crops may be easily destroyed on a large scale, and people’s mood may become bad.

Heavy rains can bring both benefits and adverse effects to human production and life, and can even cause major disasters:

Heavy rainstorms can cause urban flooding, affecting traffic and people's travel; in mountainous areas they can cause mountain torrents and mudslides, endangering people's lives and property; heavy rainstorms can also damage crops, especially young seedlings, resulting in reduced production or even total crop failure.

But heavy rainstorms can also be put to good use, especially in water-scarce areas, where water storage facilities can be used to store rainstorms for use in people's production and life; heavy rainstorms can also temporarily improve the water quality of some polluted rivers.
